Administer About course

Course offerings are missing for current or upcoming semesters.
Headings with content from the Course syllabus DN2265 (Autumn 2009–) are denoted with an asterisk ( )

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The participants can choose their own project (subject to approval by the course leader) or select from a list of computationally expensive projects from different areas of applications (financial mathematics, fluid dynamics, computational chemistry, image processing, ...).

Intended learning outcomes

The goal of this course is to provide a deep understanding of the practical and theoretical issues of solving a complex project in high-performance computing.

This understanding means that after the course you are able to:

  • find properties of a given problem which may by used for a potential parallelization
  • discuss alternatives and select algorithms for the problem
  • implement your project on a parallel computer
  • evaluate the performance and discuss the results
  • present your results in a report and at a seminar.
